How about we remove tariffs from Chinese EVs in addition to this?
The enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. This applies to China, they want to annex Taiwan for example and should be economically avoided
While true and I don't want to financially support their goals, would we be doing that? As long as they're subsidizing production, we'd effectively be exploiting their desire to corner the EV market.
I would however still not lift those tariffs if it puts us significantly at odds with EU-based nations.
And them cornering the market is exactly what we do not want. Because they take over the market then they have all sorts of leverage politically, it supports all the knowledge in batteries over there, and with competition reduced they could increase prices via not subsidizing down the road.
We want Korean, Japanese, European, etc because it supports our allies industry and we’d like some of them to produce parts or finish vehicles here in Canada so it also aids our own economy. Heck, wouldn’t it be great for some domestic option to show up again.
Limiting subsidies to Tesla does not imply help to China.
My EV is Korean, and there are other great options from all over the world.
I was replying to someone who suggested removing Chinese EV tariffs.
Ugh sorry I’m still new to Lemmy.
Haha good ol interface confusion. I use ‘Arctic’ on iOS, looks a tonne like the Reddit style
I have been using this since you suggested it and it’s improved my experience here remarkably.
Thanks again.
I’m giving that a try now, appreciate the tip
I recently read some posts from people complaining about, or saying to avoid Sync for Lemmy... But I'm using it now and it's great. As great as it was on reddit, for my purposes anyway.
So I'll add it to the recommendations pile for Lemmy on Android.
